Basel Arsenal betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This will be a match between teams that are in different situations, and in the Champions League, things are also different. Arsenal is in the lead and Basel is in last place, without any wins. There is a huge difference between these teams, as Arsenal is one of Europe's greatest teams and have a much better squad. So the English team has what it takes to win this match, but as they are playing away from home, a draw is also a possibility.
